How to Apply Lipstick Like A Pro
These easy tips and tutorials will help you achieve the perfect pout.
Preparation is the most crucial step. It’s not a good idea to have dry, chapped lips. Use a damp toothbrush to scrub your lips. Then, moisturize them with a nourishing balm. This will make them soft, smooth, and healthy. You can apply a lip primer to make the color last longer and prevent it from fading. A sugar scrub is another way to exfoliate.
Lipstick base To avoid any discoloration or uneven lips, your lipstick must have a base. This is so your lipstick doesn’t sink into your lips. Use a concealer that matches your lip’s color. Apply a little with a flat or small fluffy brush. To seal the Base, apply some compact. This will also help your lipstick last longer.
Professional makeup artists recommend the M.A.C Prime + Prep + Base as a great option.
To prevent feathering, trace your natural lip line from one corner of your lips to the other using a liner that matches your skin tone. Make an ‘X” shape on your upper lips, just below the cupid’s bow, to make the cupid’s bow stand out.
Do not worry if your lips are slightly uneven. The lipstick will make them perfect. But it is the lines around the eyes that matter.
After you have completed all of the steps, choose your lipstick and use a lip brush to apply it evenly over your lips. Remember to apply it in the corners. Make sure you use it in the corners of your lined lips. Apply the lipstick one at a time, intensifying it as necessary. A good quality lipstick should suffice for most cases.
Note: Matte lipsticks can dry out your lips. It would help if you looked for moisturizing lipsticks which condition your lips.
Avoid using dark colors if your lips are thin. They can make your lips appear smaller.
Apply a slight concealer blush to your edges and shape your lips. You can also add subtle concealer to your lips if you want them to look fuller.
You now know how to prep your lips and apply lipstick flawlessly. Let’s look at some other essential tips that you can use.
